A Coherent Master Equation for active mode locking in lasers

2015

We present the derivation of a new master equation for active mode locking in lasers that fully takes into account the coherent effects of the light matter interaction through a peculiar adiabatic elimination technique. The coherent effects included in our model could be relevant to describe properly mode-locked semiconductor lasers where the standard Haus’ Master Equation predictions show some discrepancy with respect to the experimental results and can be included in the modelling of other mode locking techniques too.

Experimental and numerical investigations of a two-body floating-point absorber wave energy converter in regular waves

2019

Abstract This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the hydrodynamics of a two-body floating-point absorber (FPA) wave energy converter (WEC) under both extreme and operational wave conditions. In this study, the responses of the WEC in heave, surge, and pitch were evaluated for various regular wave conditions. For extreme condition analysis, we assume the FPA system has a survival mode that locks the power-take-off (PTO) mechanism in extreme waves, and the WEC moves as a single body in this scenario. A series of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations was performed for the survival condition analysis, and the results were validated with the measurements from exper…

High Field Polarization Response in Ferroelectrics: Current Solutions and Challenges

2006

Polarization response including ergodicity breaking and the divergence of relaxation time is reproduced for model Hamiltonians of growing complexity. Systematic derivation of the dynamical equations and its solutions is based on the Fokker-Planck and imaginary time Schrödinger equation techniques with subsequent symplectic integration. Test solutions are addressed to finite size and spatially extended problems with microscopically interpretation of the model parameters as a challenge.

Generalized bloch equations for optical interactions in confined geometries

2005

By combining the field-susceptibility technique with the optical Bloch equations, a general formalism is developed for the investigation of molecular photophysical phenomena triggered by nanometer scale optical fields in the presence of complex environments. This formalism illustrate the influence of the illumination regime on the fluorescence signal emitted by a single molecule in a complex environment. In the saturated case, this signal is proportional to the optical local density of states, while it is proportional to the near-field intensity in the non-saturated case. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Semiquantum molecular dynamics simulation of thermal properties and heat transport in low-dimensional nanostructures

2012

We present a detailed description of the semi-quantum approach to the molecular dynamics simulation of stochastic dynamics of a system of interacting particles. Within this approach, the dynamics of the system is described with the use of classical Newtonian equations of motion in which the quantum effects are introduced through random Langevin-like forces with a specific power spectral density (the color noise). The color noise describes the interaction of the molecular system with the thermostat. We apply this technique to the simulation of the thermal properties of different low-dimensional nanostructures. Within this approach, we simulate the specific heat and heat transport in carbon n…

QUASIPARTICLE CALCULATIONS FOR THE THREE-NUCLEON SYSTEM

1972

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the quasiparticle calculations for the three-nucleon system. There are three methods for solving the integral equations for the three-body problem with local two-body potentials; one method consists of the direct solution of the Faddeev equations, and the other two methods make different use of the quasiparticle idea that is based on the splitting of the occurring two-body potentials into a sum of separable terms and a rest potential. The chapter describes the term “form factors” and “coupling strengths.” A similar splitting is obtained for the T-matrices Tγ. With its help, it is possible to transform the Faddeev-type equations for the three-body tra…

Stochastic Analysis of a Nonlocal Fractional Viscoelastic Bar Forced by Gaussian White Noise

2017

Recently, a displacement-based nonlocal bar model has been developed. The model is based on the assumption that nonlocal forces can be modeled as viscoelastic (VE) long-range interactions mutually exerted by nonadjacent bar segments due to their relative motion; the classical local stress resultants are also present in the model. A finite element (FE) formulation with closed-form expressions of the elastic and viscoelastic matrices has also been obtained. Specifically, Caputo's fractional derivative has been used in order to model viscoelastic long-range interaction. The static and quasi-static response has been already investigated. This work investigates the stochastic response of the non…

q-deformed solitons and quantum solitons of the Maxwell-Bloch lattice

2000

We report for the first time exact solutions of a completely integrable nonlinear lattice system for which the dynamical variables satisfy a q-deformed Lie algebra - the Lie-Poisson algebra su_q(2). The system considered is a q-deformed lattice for which in continuum limit the equations of motion become the envelope Maxwell-Bloch (or SIT) equations describing the resonant interaction of light with a nonlinear dielectric. Thus the N-soliton solutions we here report are the natural q-deformations, necessary for a lattice, of the well-known multi-soliton and breather solutions of self-induced transparency (SIT). The method we use to find these solutions is a generalization of the Darboux-Backl…

Incoherent Soliton Turbulence in Nonlocal Nonlinear Media

2011

The long-term behavior of a modulationally unstable nonintegrable system is known to be characterized by the soliton turbulence self-organization process: It is thermodynamically advantageous for the system to generate a large-scale coherent soliton in order to reach the (‘‘most disordered’’) equilibrium state. We show that this universal process of self-organization breaks down in the presence of a highly nonlocal nonlinear response. A wave turbulence approach based on a Vlasov-like kinetic equation reveals the existence of an incoherent soliton turbulence process: It is advantageous for the system to self-organize into a large-scale, spatially localized, incoherent soliton structure.

Stationary semiconductor equations

1996

The behaviour of a semiconductor device is usually modelled by three coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of elliptic type. Such a system for the transport of mobile charge carriers was first introduced by Van Roosbroeck [Van Roosbroeck] in 1950. Nowadays there are many models which differ in their choice of unknowns, scales, various types of nonlinearities etc. (see, e.g., [Brezzi], [Groger], [Markowich], [Markowich, Ringhofer, Schmeiser], [Mock, 1972], [Polak, den Heijer, Schilders, Markowich], [Pospisek], [Pospisek, Segeth, Silhan], [Selberherr], [Sze], [Zlamal, 1986]).
